Lee Morgan
Trumpet Solo on
All The Things You Are

About

Lee Morgan's trumpet solo is the third of 6 solos on this recording, following John Coltrane's tenor sax and followed by Hank Mobley on tenor sax. Spanning two choruses of the 36-bar AABA form at an up-tempo 190 BPM with a swing feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 1:32. Lee Morgan delivers two trumpet choruses of exuberant inventiveness, while Hank Mobley's two tenor saxophone choruses bring an understated elegance that contrasts with the more intense approaches of Griffin and Coltrane. Lee Morgan was 18 to 19 years old at the time of this 1957 recording.
